February 11, 200521 yr MIAMI - Claude Delorme was hired Friday by the Florida Marlins as a consultant and will work primarily on the team's pursuit of a new ballpark. Delorme, 43, spent the past 22 seasons with the Montreal Expos, most recently as executive vice president of business affairs. During the 2003 season, he worked in Puerto Rico on the Expos' 22-game schedule there. The Marlins have reached an agreement in principle with the city and Miami-Dade County on a plan for a $420 million ballpark adjacent to the Orange Bowl, but the deal still needs $60 million from the state.
